During this sudden, unprecedented period of lockdown (March-May 2020), the Centre Atlantique de la Photographie in Brest committed to launching a collective project for photographers who saw their movements and activities greatly curtailed.

Rather than simply documenting their environment within the permitted area of a radius of one kilometre, the CAP chose to suggest they showed what was currently inaccessible, by going to the limit of the circle centred on their home, like an island-dweller scanning the horizon from the shore with no means of reaching it. Hence the title "One Kilometre from Home" and the time limits of the photos taken between 16 March and 11 May 2020.

The photomontages on show have a documentary value as a snapshot of the various areas of the
lockdown, with their similarities and disparities. The uniformity of the print format (70 x 105 cm) and the principle of photomontage were the result of the desire of the CAP to present the work of photographers as soon as possible after the end of lockdown.
